Benefits of technology

This approach significantly enhances cookie security by preventing unauthorized access and ensuring the integrity of sensitive information, thereby reducing the risk of cross-site scripting and replay attacks.

Problems solved by technology

One example of a relatively recent but common security problem is cross-site scripting.
Cross-site scripting is a server-side vulnerability that enables malicious script (e.g., written by a hacker) to execute on a client machine in the domain of that vulnerable server.
This may cause cookie information to be provided to an invalid domain, or to provide sensitive information as a result of a script extracting information to malicious websites.
